Hello,

I'm new to SMS Server Tools, but I succeeded in installing the smsd and running it as a service in Windows 7. I changed the config in the following way:

# Example smsd.conf. Read the manual for a description devices = GSM1 logfile = /var/log/smsd.log loglevel = 7 [GSM1] device = /dev/com16 incoming = /var/spool/sms/incoming pin = 5361

I am capable of sending sms by creating SMS files inside the outgoing folder. However, I do not receive any in the incoming folder. The previous setting in the config was incoming = yes but reception of SMS wasn't possible, also.

I know this sounds like a very generic question, but I don't know how to proceed, unfortunately. I hope someone of you can give me a hint :-)

I believe, that it can't be too difficult to solve. I was really surprised how sending of sms worked right out of the box with this unbelievably awesome software! Thanks for developing it!

Cheers, David

The setting incoming = yes is correct, path to directory is not.

What does your log say when smsd tries to receive SMS?

You could use the modem setting report_device_details = yes. Restart the smsd and show piece of smsd.log here, starting from "Smsd v3.1.14 started" to "No SMS received".

Thanks for your reply.

In terms of the "incoming" config setting: If "incoming = yes" is correct why is the following statement indicated in the "How to configure" page?

incoming = directory
Default value: /var/spool/sms/incoming.
Path of the Incoming Folder.

In terms of the logs: I will follow the instructions given and post the log within the next few days.

Cheers, David

In this case the global setting has the same name as the modem setting, but the meaning is different.

Ok, I should have read the respective page more carefully. Wasn't aware it was divided into two sections (just used Ctrl + F to find "incoming"). Sorry for that.
